OUR VICE-PRINCIPALS Administrative assistants to our principal were Miss Ethel M. Hicks and Mr. Ivan E. Newpher, vice-principals. Their guidance, leadership, and faithful service in their respec- tive fields proved indispensable to the success of the 1956-57 school year at R.H.S. In addition to her role as vice-principal, Miss Ethel M. Hicks served as head of the guidance department. Adjusting and planning schedules for students and faculty were some of her ma- jor responsibilities. Other ad- ministrative duties included the admission of new pupils to our school and the record- ing of pertinent information on students' permanent rec- ords. R.H.S. is deeply indebted to Miss Hicks for her faithful and invaluable service. Miss Ethel M. Hicks Mr. Ivan E. Newpher 3 Our other administrative assistant to the principal was Mr. Ivan E.

GUR PRINCIPAL Mr. LeVan P. Smith MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OE I957 Whatever reference to the American Indian is made in the art work and dividers of this yearbook calls to our attention the relation- ship between the Indian and our own frontier. It is not the physical frontier, however, that we would emphasize today in a world made one by vast improvements in communication and transportation. We face, rather, the fron- tiers of technology and human relationships which challenge you and succeeding genera- tions. It is not that frontiers have disappear- ed, in fact, they have increased tremendously with the increase of man's knowledge about his world and himself g it is more pertinent to say that frontiers have changed. We are no longer agrarian in spirit and characterg we have become increasingly industrial. And so you stand on the threshold of a life which is bounded only by the limitations of your own imagination and perspective. Learning is an on-going process. What you have learned here is only the beginning of what you are about to learn as you cross this first impor- tant threshold. The tools of learning that you have acquired here can be succinctly stated as the know how in your hands and the know why in your heads. These are the qualities which will guarantee your place in the world. These are the characteristics by which your success will be measured. The frontiers are unnumberedg the door stands open before you. The skill, knowledge, and attitudes you possess are the only vehicles with which you can carry on that which has been started here. In a world which measures every man by his own effort, you and only you have the answer. What shall it be?
